NEW PEALS BUBBLE BATH APP IS NOW ONLINE
Originally recorded for the Fermata contemporary sound art exhibition, the web app was created in collaboration with artist Dina Kelberman, who programmed the interface and designed the mesmerizing visuals.
Bubble Bath lets you mix your own sounds and set length of play—perfect for listening in bed while falling asleep. The auto-randomization feature builds dynamically changing soundscapes from combinations of the loops (roughly 2,432,902,008,176,640,000 + infinite volume variations).

Peals’ new LP Honey is now available via Friends Records on LP, CD, Cassette & USB submerged in honey.
Honey, the second full-length album from Baltimore-based duo Peals, elevates their exploratory sound to majestic new heights of otherworldly instrumental pop while preserving the intimacy of their live shows and earlier recordings.
William Cashion (Future Islands) and Bruce Willen (ex-Double Dagger) recorded much of Honey in Willen’s Baltimore home. Together they build rapturous melodies of interlocking and looped guitars that channel kosmische musik, ‘70s Eno, and new wave hooks à la Robert Smith into above-the-clouds dream soundtracks. Unexpected and delicate textures—wind, bells, the whirs of a film projector—situate listeners in the elemental immediacy of Peals performances, which take place in art galleries or open fields as often as traditional music venues.
Recorded over a three-year span (late 2013 to early 2016) and mixed by Chester Endersby Gwazda (Dan Deacon, Future Islands), Peals’ sophomore album triumphantly refines and expands the sound palette they mapped out on their 2013 debut, Walking Field. Each of Honey’s nine tracks brim with emotional resonance. A journey at once meditative, transportive, and eminently accessible, Honey is one of those special albums that creates an entire world—and then invites the listener to populate it with thoughts and dreams of their own.
